Prior to Thursday's deadline, the Warriors made a pair of moves adding two experienced forwards to a unit that has suffered through injuries throughout much of the season.

Earlier in the week, the Warriors sent rookie forward Jetlan Houcher and future considerations to the Fort McMurray Oil Barons of the Alberta Junior Hockey League in exchange for 20-year-old Daniel Gayle.

Gayle, who spent the previous two-and-a-half seasons with Moose Jaw and Calgary in the Western Hockey League, had 27 points in 35 games with the Oil Barons this season.

Just hours before the deadline the Warriors completed a deal with the Coquitlam Express.
